In the annual pie riot of the New York
newsboys the Sun representative, as if to
sustain the record of his paper, got no
pie, but was struck by a solitary sand
wich. II > graphically states "a friendly
volley of pies and sandwiches was then
fired at the reporters, and while the boys
were pelting the men who cast OF The
barge's lines the reporters made break
for the tug, which lay astern. They
passed uDharmed into the midst of the
crowd, and then they caught buttered
bread and pie from all sides. The
policemen who were there had put on
their old uniforms, knowing that they
would get their share of provisions, ex-
ternally applied. They got it, mostly in
the shape of custard. The Sun man got
only one buttered sandwich on each side
of his hat.

On the Back Track.

1t must be a source OF satisfaction to
the real friends of the Times Union to no.
tice its disposition TO take the back track
in the Florida winter travel business. 1t
would be much more gratifying to them,
doubtless, lift should say frankly that it
made a mistake. 1t will hardly be able
to set itself right by claiming 1t only
"sounded a note of warning" 1t will
have to show first that note OF warning
was necessary, and that the scare was
not one of tne means by which it at
tempted to compel the railroads to yield
to its demands in the matter OF schedules.
or course it may have been very sim
cere in the course it pursued, and that,
misled by unreliable information, it was
really alarmed respecting the winter
travel, but It ought to have been very
careful about its information in a matter
calculated to do the State SO much harm.
OF course it is impossible to say how
much harm 1t did by its publications, but
it is to be hoped not great deal. Still,
those who know how easily tourists are
Influenced against place they are led to
believe Is being deserted, can form some
some sort OF calculation OF the percent
age OF tourists that might have been kept
away from Florida this winter by the
Times Union publications II the facts had
not been made known promptly.
1t Is gratifying to notice that other
Florida papers have taken hold OF this
matter vigorously, and, with the SAvAN-
NAB MORNING NEWS, have shown that
there has been no falling off in the travel
TO Florida this winter. The News, Of
Jacksonville, for instance, says: 1--WE
have Information, worthy OF all credit,
that there are more tourists now In Flori-
da than at this time in previous years"
In its local column 1t has this paragraph:
''The travel at the Windsor Hotel up to
the present time has averaged from one
third to one-hslf more than any previous
wear Of its history"
The Palatka News says: "The Prssi-
dent OF the Atlantic Coast Line informs
us that his road has brought more visit
ors TO Florida during this month than in
the corresponding month Of any previous
year"
There is no occasion to make further
quotations. We gladly publish these
statements since they not only support
what we have already said, but ALSO, be-
cause we want to give them circulation
where they will do Florida the most good.
The limes-Union ought to publish them.
Indeed, 1t 10 hardly possible to see how il
can help doing 50, if it is anxious to pro.
mote the prosperity Of Florida In every
way it can. If it made a Aistake-and
it is difficult to see how it can avoid ad.
hitting that 1t did-it should not hesitate
to adept every means to correct it.
These statements about the falling of
of the winter travel to Florida are not
confined TO that State. Unfortunately
the Northern papers reproduced them

from the st. Louis GtOOe- Democrat.
A thing that reJoices young men more than

men of slender means Miss West thought IL

costly bouquets from their partners In the
german. 10 each man asking her TO dance a
german with him she frankly said:
II never carry any flowers, so you must not
send me a bouquet. | cannot accept it,"
For three winters, and now for fourth,
Miss West has gone to balls without bou-
quet. She is one OF the most beautiful young
women here, popular IN ali society. and "a
reignlng young belle for the whole diplomatic
corps and her popularity with the young at
taChes, ueuteuants and ensiGnS is unDOunded.
Her TWO Younger sisters carried bouquets on
the nights of the pals with which their father
introduced them 10 society, but never after
their debuts. These three English girls, Miss
Matte Mitch II, aud u few others are now

The Bells of Earth,

The bells of earth go sounding on
From many an ancient steeple,
Telling their tales OF Joy and wo
To all the waiting people;
In merry strains Of festal mlrth
They cheer our hours of gladness,
or wall their cry when midnight flames
Are raging in their madness;
So ON they ring, these bells OF earth,
With note that never changes,
But over all the chords of life
Their mystic music ranges,
To-day they mourn nations loss.
In heavy means of sorrow,
But chant the tripping wedding march
In gladstone tones to- morrow;
To-day they sing OF victory,
With banners gayly hying,
Tor orr0w requiems for the slain
ON all the winds are signing;
so on they ring, these bells OF earth,
With note that never changes,
But over all the chords OF life
Their mystic music ranges.
How gently, on the morning air,
The Sabbath bells are calling;
How softly at the hour Of prayer.
When even ing dews are falling;
But when deaths sau procession moves,
And bells are slowly toliinE,
How mournfully upon the ear
Those waves Of sound come rolling;
SO on they ring, the o bells Of earth,
With note that never changes,
But over all the chords OF life
Their mystic music ranges
Their note IS one-but human souls,
All thoughts and passions blending,
Can turn the music At their will,
To each emotion bending,
These songs from turret and from tower
which DER the ldrd are ringing
Are echoes from the self-same song,
Which every heart 4 singing;
so on thpV ring these npita nf aarth
With note that never changes,
But over all the chords OF life
Their mystic music ranges.

this he proposed to have primary schools for
the use of young children In the families that
may come TO the University to educate their
older children. Professor Walker recon-
mends that only the college so called be now
undertaken, and that this be only open in the
drst instance TO young men. Starting with
the college for young men. Prof .ssor WaIker
recommends that there be no formal Inaugu-
ration of proper university work, as under
stood at Cambridge, but that the development
of such work be eft to follow gradual y and in
seuslbly. To this END he urges that the teach
ing staff Of the college should be constituted
on the most liberal scheme, far in excess
of the needs of undergraduate instruction. If
the chairs of instruction in the college are
filled by earnest, ambitious and progressive
Young men who have a laboratory ut their
command, and are not weighed down and
overburdeued by the necessities of under
graduate teaching, the university work will
begin of itself,
As regards the Introduction of young
women 10 the college Professor Walker
recommends that it taAe place as soon as the
main difficulties of founding the institution
for young men have been satisfactorily over
come lie also recommends the common use,
indiscriminately by the two sexes, of all
laboratories and Libraries.
